On Monday afternoon, professional ballet dancers from the Australian Ballet took a break from their regional tour of the classical on-stage comedy.

Journeying into Junee, they taught the students in the community centre's inaugural junior movement project.

"There was a real connection between the girls and the dancers," said class instructor Amy Murphy.

Before arriving for their first lesson, most of the students had no experience with ballet.

An opportunity like this would not have been on their radar only months ago.

But now that it is, Ms Murphy hopes it will ignite a deeper passion and lead to potential careers in the arts.

"The more exposure you get to the professionals, and in this case, to the artists, the better you will be," Ms Murphy said.

"It's the magic of what we're trying to achieve with junior moves, showing that the connection to ballet can transcend all barriers, whether it's age or socio-economic factors, or anything."

Learning various positions, moves and simple dances provided a glimpse of a life as a professional dancer.

"It was the first time some of them had even seen male ballerinas," Ms Murphy said.

Georgia-Lee, aged 10, asked performer Yvette Sauvage how often she trained.

"I said, 'how many days do you practice?' Six days a week from 10am until 6pm, I wouldn't be able to do that, it's too long," Georgia said.

After having learnt some of the dances in the classical comedy Copellia, the girls will also be given the opportunity to watch the performance and venture behind-the-scenes during Wednesday's performance at the Wagga Civic Theatre.
